Very recently, scientists discovered a new member of the Homo group, Homo
naledi, at a site in South Africa. They found many bones and teeth of adults,
children, and babies. Some parts of the skeletons they found looked like those
of modern humans, while other parts were not as advanced. For example, the
skulls they found were much smaller than those of other members of the Homo
group. Scientists believe that H. naledi could date back as far as two or three
million years.
Since finding the bones, scientists have learned that H. naledi could climb trees
and walk on two legs for long distances. There are thousands more bones still at
the site. Studying them will be helpful in learning more about this species. It
will also help us understand how its descendants changed into modern human

The most recent group, the Homo group that we belong to, could now walk long
distances. They had large brains that gave them the ability to use tools.
Members of this group were the first to leave Africa and spread into other
parts of the world.

This group can be divided into several species. Some species date back 5 million
years. Scientists found one skeleton that was very well preserved. They called
her“Lucy,” and she lived 3.2 million years ago. The species in the Australopithecus
group had large back teeth and strong lower jaws. This helped them eat a diet
of hard foods, such as nuts, seeds, and roots.

Scientist believe that our oldest ancestors climbed trees and started to walk
on two legs. They were our connection to other primates. They lived in África a
round 4.4 million years ago.

For centuries, scientist have
searched for information about
ancient civilizations and our human
origins. They can divide human
development into groups. Each group
includes several different species.
Over time, these species became
human beings
